Extending the Legacy
Extending the Legacy: GSA Historic Building Stewardship 2008
GSA’s 2008 update to its comprehensive stewardship report showcases agency successes in every major business activity involving historic buildings, with richly illustrated case studies that serve as valuable models for creative problem solving and risk management. Among these are GSA’s 10-year modern-era buildings initiative, which won a National Trust award in 2008, and African Burial Ground interpretation, which won GSA a 2008 Preserve America Presidential Award. The report also raises the need for greater reinvestment funding and flexibility to enable GSA to meet its commitment to giving historic buildings priority in meeting federal space needs.
Extending the Legacy: GSA Historic Building Stewardship 2004
The 2004 report was initiated in part as a follow up to GSA’s 1999 report Held in Public Trust: PBS Strategy for Using Historic Buildings and also to fulfill GSA’s responsibilities under Executive Order 13287, "Preserve America". Extending the Legacy examines our stewardship successes and challenges within the practical framework of GSA’s business approach to providing and maintaining federal workspace.
Both reports are available in the online historic preservation library as downloadable PDFs.
